Interesting. I've also notice that BTS daily streams and monthly listeners have started to rise as ARMYs are also starting to become more active since its the year that BTS is coming back.

Yeah but listeners started to fall after a few days later into the new year. Then the last 13 days BTS has been gaining every single day

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

WAIT IT IS??

Yup

It was doing 50-60k and then suddenly doing these numbers

And this is US AM kpop

Yes it is. House of cards has been rising in streams on Spotify and rising on US kpop AM charts

As expected. US shows will be a blood bath

Beautiful performance. Now I need that music video ASAP

Quote from Selynn

It was a very good collaboration. The harmonization of their vocals was beautiful. Thanks to Jin for promoting Wendy better than Sm

I have been seeing you all complaining about the company not even reposting a tweet about the collab. I didn’t know it was that bad out there for you guys

Quote from Varenka

They saw BTS, noticed how obsessive K-pop fans were, and decided to give pity nominations in order to create a separate category to farm impressions.

You are very ignorant and you still spew lies as truth.

BBMAs and AMAs literally still nominate BTS in regular categories because they still qualify for that. Apart from VMAs with their shitty criteria, I’ll rather believe these shows created those kpop categories to give non BTS group pity nominations so they can farm kpop engagements. That’s your fave’s shade, not BTS

It has never been Bigbang when BP is there

Quote from Varenka

They never scared the US music industry They're a niche act, but they're a niche act with a crazed support base, which is standard for K-pop acts but that's not a threat. Swift, Rodrigo, Drake, etc are not running scared of BTS releases.

Their fraudulence is in the "paving the way" narrative that people like to ascribe to them and Blackpink. They did no such thing.

Did I get teleported to 2017???

We are in 2024. Wake up

Quote from fortuna

ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100 :

Their first TOP 10 hit was in 2018 with FAKE LOVE

Their first TOP 8 hit was in 2019 WITH BOY WITH LUV ft. HALSEY

Their first TOP 4 hit was early 2020 with ON

Their first NO. 1 was late 2020 with DYNAMITE (their first english single)

their second NO. 1 was SAVAGE LOVE (Laxed – Siren Beat) with Jawsh 685 & Jason Derulo

their third NO. 1 was even later in 2020 with LIFE GOES ON (first korean song to hit number 1)

They got so popular they were able to stay #1 for seven weeks with BUTTER and then REPLACE themselves at number 1 with PTD

So tell me, where is the "fraudulence" people like to associate them with?

Because only a natural organic ™ growth allows you to see such solid results

This aint a case of one day stay virality

or #80 to #1 when the check hits and back to #80??

This is a case of growing popularity and a SOLID fanbase

and I cant believe that that's a concept so difficult to understand in big 2024 but that's another topic for another day

What scared the music industry, be it the kpop industry or the US music industry was that they were here to stay and continuously growing in popularity.

I wonder what brought this up but yes. Their numbers and relevancy match across all platforms

I have been searching for this thread. It deserved an army tag ArmyTaglist

Anyways I love the music video. How it started with him having just few people around, then to a lot of people tuning in, and then to him just being alone. He really said “I’ll stay the same and I will be there to sing no matter what” and that’s so cute and so Jin, spreading happiness

Quote from doesitneedsaying

I'm actually torn. They are trash company but it seems they are satisfied with the way they've been treated. And to add one selfish reason: if they left that would slow down their comeback and I don't want that lol

There are many reasons I may want BTS to leave Hybe. The least of all that is over shipping albums. That one is stupid af.

There are more legit reasons like the poor promos each member gets on their solo debuts, stupid dumb mistakes on youtube and Apple Music that cost the members on charts, their social marketing sucks(bts tiktok account still doesn’t have all of Jin’s promotional videos uploaded) and the fact that they reposted an article from a scandalous journalist armys have been emailing you about for months now to sue. That one spoke volumes because it showed Bighit doesn’t give af about BTS

These are much more important reasons than whatever was posted here

I dislike Hybe but why would they leave the company when other big idols are still signed to labels that were involved with much worse scandals???

If BTS should leave Hybe, it has to be a much worse situation than a wide common industry tactic like overshipping albums

Quote from Fansamy

As you should have

not this old arse thread

The whitewashing in his photos☠️

Deserved. It’s actually the best solo work I’ve heard from any of them so far. Also not surprised. Hard to Love was the only track I kinda liked from their last album. Maybe I gravitate more towards the music Rosé makes

Interesting data. Good job OP

Quote from Chocolate-cheeks

Nowadays album roll-outs are basically only concept photos and teaser videos, i hope BTS comeback with something creatively cryptic like this again.. if i remember correctly both BE and Proof had pretty typical kpop schedules. Butter had a great rollout though

I’ll argue proof wasn’t even typical. Pulling the announcement at the end of their concert was insane and the hype was almost palpable

Quote from fortuna

TBH they did try to do something interesting with MOTS 7.

There was literally CONNECT BTS with artists all over the world.

But loads of ARMYs pissed me off then.

Let me ask you ,

Would the ARMYs of today be able to handle an album rollout like LY HER ??

For example:

LY HER did not have a typical comeback schedule.

Fans did not demand anything like that from the company either, claiming it was sabotage

All we had was a blog, an imaginary flower, and vibes

Imagine that today.

I done lost majority of my faith in the fandom already. I expect them to piss me off again.

And that's me saying I don't doubt BTS' creativity because I believe they ARE in these discussions but I do doubt that I'll like the way the fandom reacts

But we shall see

Maybe I'll be surprised.

Tbh most armys complaints have been post promotions. Like it’s cool and all to do this and announce a project. I doubt armys will be triggered about this. They only complain if after the release of the album, there’s lackluster promotional materials

And here I thought I was tagged in an important thread

Tswwwwww
